Does the Thylacine still exist ?

Australia wildlife scientists have re-opened the cryptic case of the Tasmanian tiger, a carnivorous marsupial that resembles a striped coyote and which was last seen alive more than 70 years ago.

Scientists think the chances are slim Thylacine still roams remote areas of Tasmania, the large island just south of Australia, but they can not help but turn everything possible on the road tests.

The last wild Tasmanian tiger was killed by a farmer around 1930, and the last one in captivity died in 1936 at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania in the capital. Fifty years later, the species was declared extinct.

Despite the official extinction, rumors sightings of the creature have continued to emerge from the temperate forests of Tasmania.
